REPUTATION

REPUTATION is an important attribute which governs a number of things.

The ranks below are example generic ranks. They stop short of monarchy or equivalent hereditary positions which are not attained solely through increased reputation. You may create your own for your setting.

Note that to maintain a rank, career selections must keep a character within that organization.

Credit

In appropriate settings, REP can be used to obtain items on credit. When attempting to obtain an item on credit, make a REP check, cube the result, and multiply by 10 (for example, a roll of 15 grants 2,250cr). If this exceeds the value of the item you are attempting to obtain, you succeed in doing so. Repayment is typically over 10 monthly installments.

Every month where an installment is not paid, the character's REP score is decreased permanently by one point. This does not alleviate the debt.

In an organization, a REP check instead forms a requisition check.

Salary

Not all games will include a salary. For those that do, characters earn a monthly salary equal to 100 times their REP score. This is a net salary, and assumes that living expenses have already been deducted.

Social Encounters

REP can be used in most situations where CHA can be used - to persuade, intimidate, and so on.
